In,p1,oYeIltlents

i Notwithstanding hard times inn
j provements viii continue. Among
the most conspicuous in the County
at present, is that made on the top of
Boggs Mountain by col. G. l.. Hol-
lingsworth. The commodious two
story dwelling was completed last
week, and is now under the painters
| brush. The house is now occupied
| by Mr.. j. J. Wakelin, and his happy
family, with whom we had the pleas
ure of dining on the 18th inst. The
other Improvements besides she dwell
ing in the way of buildings, consist
of set of most substantial stables,
b,iilt Of logs, sufficient for the accom-
modation Of six horses in the base
ment, and as many more on the first
floor; large corn crib made of
chestnut-oak logs with convenient
wagon room attachment, and fowl
house.
The object of the greatest interest
to those prosecuting the work of i'm
proving, is well ixtyeight feet deep,
fifty eight of which has been driven
through solid granite. When this is
completed, the further improvement
of the place will be IN easy problem
| But if water is not reached ut the
depth of seventy-fve feet, the well
will prove an invaluable aid as a els
tern, which would be capable Of sup
plying large family with water fol
several weeks. But the present ne
cessities of tho case are fully met b,
a clear, cold spring which gushcs
from the foot Of the mountain. Mir
Wakelin has already begun his or
chard and vineyard, which with his
energy and experience he is sure tc
make q success.
The house is provided with cupo
Ia, surrounded by vcranda from ev
cry side OF which the most extensive
views can be had-views SURPRISING
in beauty and magnifccnco, any tina
can be obtained on the highest noun
tain range, for there is nothing to in
terccpt bnt the Blue Ridge Noun
tains on the North, and the far dis
tant horizon at all the other points
of the compass. The elevation is
sufficient too, to give nil the luxurics
Of tho refreshing mountain breeze
Pickcns, Enslcy, Greenville and Lib
crty arc in plain view, besides above
500 farms.
In few years we expect to sec this
everlasting hill, once the abode of fox
os, wild cats and owls, transformed
into garden of fragrant flowers min
Cling their Sweetness with the mel
low songs of JOY and the civilized
notes of the mocking bird.

Pickens County.

ElGNemS County.
From letter published in this is-
sue, it seems necessary that we should
occasionally set forth the adventa-
ges of our coug&y.
The CLIMATE IN the Piedmont Felt
lis almost jas gool, if not little better
than II it had been made to order.
The winters are comparatively mild,
anything like hard freeze seldom
lasting above seven days, and these do
not come moro than throe times in
one winter
The fertile soil of the county is we'll
adapted to raising wheat, corn, oats,
rye, barley, clover, potatoes Of all
kinds, and no better grade of short
staple cotton is ever put on the mar
ket than that from this county. AL
kinds of apples, peaches, cherries,
pears, apricots, ounces, figs and
grapes are grown with success.
The water almost without excep-
ton is pure, cold, and good, none Of
it from the,,springs'' and wells can be
made more palatable by being iced
The Saluda on the east and the
Keowee on the west of the county
abound with shoals and furnish an al
most unlimited supply of water pow
or, besides twelve considerable creeks
all Of which have several good mill
sites.
The county is we'll timbered. Fire
wood in the four towns sells at $1.O0
per cord, and lumber at the mills
from $500 to $1,000 per thousand
feet.
The population of the county is
about 13 600 white. and 900 c0lorcd,
and more orderly trustworthy set
of colored people cannot be found in
the Southern States.
The Air Line Division of the Rich
mond & Danville Railroad runs
twenty seven miles through the coun-
ty. 1t is better equipped and does
better service than any railroad be-
tween this and Chicago. The Cum
berland Gap roal is expected in
few years to cross tho county AT right
angles with the Richmond g. Dan
vile.
There are six Presbyterian, fonr-
teen Methodist and 90 Baptist chur-
chos, and about soventy-fve school
houses. It has been nine years since
any whiskey was legally sold in the
county, and there is scarcely mur-
mur against the law. Thore is such
unanimity on the subject that it has
never been made Oh issue in any of
our elections.
The farming lands and stock gen
orally have been greatly improved
since the passage OF the stock law
few years ago
In this county the temperature Of
the dir, the aptness of the soil for ev-
cry species of grain, and the luxuri-
ance of vegetation, al display the lib
erality of Nature, and tempt the in
dustry of man.

We understand that the minority rs
kod to be allowed to publish in the

The South Carolina Presbvter,
having heard of the great calumit,
that bcfcl the Abbeville church il
the loss of it's house of Worship b,
fire within the past week, we be,
leave to express to the brethren o
that church our most sincere and cal
nest sympathy with them in their at
Fiction. We mingle our tears Will
theirs over this pile Of ashes
Let them not despair; let them no
be even discouraged; let them not hes
Itnte to say: "Let US rise and build.
That Master who has SO often SUP
piled tie needs Of others throug!
their abundant libcrality will not fai
to strengthen their hauds for thi,
good work.
Though their holy and beautiful
house, where their fathers praised
God is burned up with fro, and al
their pleasant things are laid waste
yet they know wno has said: "Thrsil-
yer is mine and the go!d;' and tho
, glory Of the latter house may be
greater than thai of the former. We
express the hope that God may show,
cr precious blessings upon then even
in this 'f'rnaceo Of atlliction," and that
rich attainmcnts in grace and many
additions to their number may result
from this trial "with fire"

A thin, skinning process makes it

Shallow culture is not confined to

The bid for the Agricultural Sta
ton seems to have been Jet. Enough
interest could not be aroused to core
with other sections, and somo very
small bid may prove successful. It
seems to us rather impolitic any way,
that thing ofas much moment as
the Experimental Station proposes to
be, TO have its location determined by
q few Thousand dollars. It is not
known what the Board Of Agriculture
will consider, but bid Of $50 from
q given section may bo better than one
Of $5,0OO.OO from another.
